Raging Slab (1989)Great debut album of southern infused hard rock, very fresh sound and now one of my fave all-time albums. "Get Off My Jollies" is kick ass along with mellow stand-out "Love Comes Loose". The picture is from the Rock Candy re-issue this year, as the band hated the original cover shot.

"The basic plot is that Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton, the two undercover DEA agent Playboy Playmates from the last movie, are still running around in jungle shorts, cowboy boots and spaghetti strap T-shirts, firing their machine guns at drug smugglers, Filipino communist guerrillas, and corrupt federal agents while their two friends, Lisa London and Miss May 1984 Patty Duffek, lounge around the pool a lot and talk on speaker phones that look like fax machines."-Joe Bob on SAVAGE BEACH

The local public library was having their annual Book Sale today so in addition to some cool geeky stuff like Star Wars and Aliens Vs. Predator paperback novels and a bad-ass "Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man" reprint compendium (the first 31 issues all in one book!), I scored a couple of CDs as well:

Heart - DOG & BUTTERFLY (1978, remaster w/bonus tracks)Heart - JUPITER'S DARLING (2004)Emerson, Lake & Palmer - THE BEST OF ELP (never been much of a prog-rock fan, but the last track is Greg Lake's solo Christmas single "I Believe In Father Christmas" and I love listening to that one at holiday time...)
